IA OR
A Short Struggle for Suprem
acy in Chinese Affairs.
RUSSIA ON TOP
France Will Release the Brazilians
Now Held as Prisoners
in Cayenne.
Americans will be Welcome to Assist In
China's Development, bnt British
Capital Is not Wanted for
that Purpose, '
"WASHINGTON, Sept. 27. Reports to
officials and to the diplomatic repre
sentatives of eastern countries indicate
that the Slavonic influence is becom
ing dominant, and that the Anglo
Saxon or English influence, which has
hitherto been uppermost in the (level
oprnent of the east, is being systemat
ically and surely eliminated from the
control of China and the east. This
evolution is regarded as of great im
portance. - J
The advance of Russian influence and
the retirement of the British has come
by stages, none of which has been suf
ficient in itself to attract marked at
tention, but all of them combining
toward complete Russian supremacy.
At the close of the recent war Rus
sia dictated the evacuation of the Liao
Tung peninsula and the great fortress
of Port Arthur which had been cap
tured by Japan. It is now believed by
those in a position to be officially in
formed of the situation that it is the
ultimate purpose of Russia to occupy
Port Arthur, and that the formal
evacuation by the Japanese will be
followed before long by a Russian
entry under Chinese approval.
After Russia had dictated the retire
ment of the Japanese from Port
Arthur, the Russian government ad
vanced the sum necessary to pay the
first installment of indemnity to Japan.
The amount reached $100,000,000 in
gold, including the war indemnity
and payment for the release of Port
Arthur. This has been followed
within the last few days by reports of
the establishment at Shanghai of a
Russian bank which will be the me
dium through which the Chinese of
ficial dealings with Russia will be J
transacted, xnese are some oi tne
principal events which are regarded
by those in official positions as tending
towards Chinese dependence - on
Russia. , -. U ;
While Russia is thue making her
hold on the east secure, linglish influ
ence is being thrown off by a succes
sion of events, some of them threaten
ing to occasion serious trouble. The
Chinese have dismissed Sir Robert
Hart from the head of the custom de
partment. Sir Robert was the prin
cipal representative of English influ
ence in China. He had modeled the
Chinese customs service on Englith
lines and officered it with Englishmen.
His title was confered upon him by
the queen by reason of his conspicuous
service in China. His retirement has
been followed by a demand from China
for the recall of Mr. O'Connor, the
British minister to Peking, the
ostensible reason being the zealous-
ness of the minister in the recent in
vestigation of riots against foreigners,
though those conversant with the
facts say the real reason was the in-,
fluence of Russia.
A striklug illustration of the change
in China has come to the attention of
the officials here. An American gen
tleman recently arrived in Washing
ton, after being in China for some
time negotiating for the building of a
railroad with American capital. He
found the Russian influence so strong
that he went to the Russian ambassa
dor at Peking to learn if the Ameri
can project would be viewed with
favor by the Russians. The ambassa
dor said:
"Yes, Americans and American
capital will be welcome in the develop
ment of China, but British capital is
not wanted." In the most emphatic
manner the ambassador made known
his opinion that British influence in
China was at an end, and that Russia
had openly entered upon her course of
ontrolllng and developing China.
In an indirect way the United States
has become involved in this evolution
of Chinese affairs. The present con
dition was foreseen by Great Britain
some time ago, and when the Rosebery
government went out of office ' Lord
Kimberley addressed a note to this
country suggesting joint action in the
China-Japan trouble. It has since
been disclosed by British officials at
Washington that the purpose of Lord
Kimberley was to cement English as
against Russian influence. The United
States declined Lord Kimberley's
overture and, as a result, the Russians
have been left free to execute their
broad plan of" bringing the eastern
world under the influence of the czar.
A Cool Bobber.
Chicago, Sept. 27. As the Wabash

knocking her senseless. ' He jumped
from the moving train, andapparently
uninjured, escaped in the darkness.
Senator Martin's Position.
Richmond, Va., Sept. 27. Comment
here on United States Senator Thomas
S. Martin's position in declining to say
how he stands on the silver question
has been increased by his speed made
last night before the state democratic
committee, : in which he . advised
against allowing any speakers from
outside of Virginia to come here and
inject agitation of the currency ques-
tion. Senator Martin believes in ig
noring that issue in the state canvass,
but it is widely discussed.
. To Render a Decision.
Council Bluffs, la.. Sept. 27. J.
R. Reed, of the court of private land
claims, leaves for Santa Fe tomorrow
to open a term of court at which he
will render a decision involving an
enormous tract of land in New Mexico
and Arizona, estimated to be worth in
the neighborhood of $100,000,000. The
claims grew out of an old Spanish land
grant. It is claimed the documents by
which the present owners received
their title were forged.

INTENSE BEAT IN EUROPE.
Rivers
Are Dwindling and i
Famine Is Imminent.
Water
NEW YORK, Sept. 30. A special
to
the Herald, from Paris, says:
A special telegram from Kiel observ
atory announces that the approach of
the comet of Faye has been discovered
by Professor Javelle, of the Nice ob
servatory. Without taking an alarm
ist view of of affairs, 4t may be' well -to
point out the theory , so graphically
developed in M. Flammarion's book,
"La Fin du Monde." In that work a
collison between a comet and the earth
is described with astronomical pre
cision and during the extraordinary
phenomena that ensued, there was
unusual heat, the first phases of which
were similar to those now prevailing
in Northwestern Europe. Can it be
possible that the present high temper
ature is the precursor of a tertrestrial
smashup with Faye's comet? Be that
as it may, continued drought and heat
are causing serious inconvenience all
over Europe. The Seine, Marne and
Loire have never been as low as now,
and a water famine in numerous dist
ricts seems to be impending. Slight
fevers are becoming prevalent and an
imals are suffering. ' '
Cases of sunstroke are numerous in
Great Britain and on the continent,
and the weather reports Indicate that
the heat covers all Western and Cen
tral Europe.
A SHORT CAMPAIGN.
The Times-Herald Thinks Voters Gener
ally Favor It. r
- Chicago, Sept. 30. The Times
Herald this morning publishes personal
letters from 70 of the editors of the
great newspapers in all parts "of the
United States, the majority of whom
favor a short presidential campaign.
The same paper says:
"The national committeemen who
will soon meet and settle this question
need not go astray if they desire to
record the wishes of their constituents,
the Deoole. If out to a test tomorrow
90 per cent of the voters would declare
for a short campaign. The only oppo
sition comes from the professional pol
iticians, the professional corruption-
Ists and their hired retainers. ..There
are not wanting signs that the people
are thoroughly tired and disgusted
with the operations of these conspi
rators, who wield so potent an influ
ence in shaping the policies of the na
tional parties. If a long campaign and
its attendant miseries Is forced on the
country the blame will be placed where
it belongs, and the parties will suffer
the consequences."
Of the 70 editors whose opinions are
given, , nearly all favor a campaign
which shall extend over not more than
two months, and while two-thirds of
the writers express a ' preference tor
September as the time for holding the
national conventions of both parties,
many believe June or July to be the
proper months. Murat Hals te ad says:
"Cut the presidential term to two
years and the campaigns will adjust
themselves and what they ' lack in
strength will be made up in frequency."
The Nicaragua Canal Route-
New York, Sept. 30. H. C. Bralda,
formerly Uulted States consul at San
Juan del Norte, Nicaragua, is here to
day. : Mr.Braida recently accompanied
the commission appointed by this gov
ernment to visit the Nicaragua canal
route. No work is being done, but
Mr. Bralda is enthusiastic about the
advantage of the route over that of the
Isthmus of Panama.
Tillamook County Growing.
Tillamook, Or., Sept. 30. The as

This Is a gain of 32 per cent over the

males and 1672 females in the' county,
and 1118 legal voters. There is also
one colored person.

The Associated press correspondent
says: Seventy-two people have been
attacked with cholera since the plague
broke out, and of that number fifty-two
have died. But few white people were
among the victims. During the last
forty-eight hours but one new case has
developed, and it is believed the dis
ease is now in check and it is only a
matter of a few weeks when it will be
totally eradicated.
As a result of the almost entire sus
pension of business many Hawaiians
are out of work and there appears to
be great distress among them. A re
lief station has been opened. There
is still some doubt as to the real nature
scourge, the majority of the medical
men agree that it is Asiatic cholera,
but there are some who maintain that
it Is purely a local disease. Many of
the cases have been traced, and with
out exception the practice of eating
raw fish has been responsible for the
sickness. The fish in. the harbor are
believed to have been poisoned and the
sate of some is prohibited. .
; ' MIXES' APPCIVTMrJNT.
It Will Probably be OffleiaUy Aaaonnoed
'Sometime Today. r :. '
New York, Sept. 29.-There is no
longer any doubt that General "Miles
is to succeed General Schofild in the.
office of general" in command of the
army. General Miles made a state
ment of the fact tonight, saying that
he was informed of the president's
determination to appoint him, by the
secretary of war, whom he had met in
this city, by appointment, at the
Metropolitan Club.
General Schofield retired from active
service today, and it is probable that
the appointment of General Miles will
be announced Wmorrwr-or- very soon.
The general will go to Washington to
assume the duties of his high position.
The announcement will set at. rest
the rumors which have been going
the rounds during the last week con
cerning General Scofield's probable
successor.
There was an opinion in some quar
ters that the position of general of the
army might be left vacant for some
time, as there is no requirement of law
for such a position, and ' there are
precedents for leaving it unfilled.
Only once, since the army was organ
ized, however, has the president failed
to appoint the senior general to the
command of the army.
When General Miles was seen by a
reporter at his headquarters he spoke
freely of his appointment. He Said: -
"My informant was Secretary La-
moht, whom I met by special appoint
ment at the Metropolitan Club in New
York last Friday. Naturally, I was
much gratified. In a sense, however,
my appointment is not 'a promotion,
as the grade of lieutenant-general be
comes extinct with the retirement of
General Schofield.
"I will enter upon my duties with as
little delay as possible; in fact, as soon
as the secretary issues the order an
nouncing my appointment.
THE BRITISH DEMANDS'
BuDDorted by the Presence of a Fleet
In
' the Tang-tae-Klang.
Shanghai, Sept. 29. Failing entire
compliance with the British demands,
it is understood that a fleet of 15 war
ships will make a demonstration be
fore Nanking Tuesday or Wednesday
next. The British demand Is that
within 14 days and edict must be issued
degrading the viceroy of theSe Chuen,
or otherwise the British admiral com
manding will act. The wife and
family and the treasure of the viceroy
of Nanking have been brought to
Shanghai for safe keeping. Chinese
merchants are coming here from every
side, seeking shelter.
The British warships Rainbow,

Durrant Bays They Lied.
San Francisco, Sept. 28. An even
ing paper publishes an interview with
Theodore Durrant in which the pris
oner expressed his disgust at the wit
nesses who had testified for the prose
cution.
'I wonder that the fate of Ananias
and Saphira has not overtaken some of
them," he is quoted as saying. "It
is strange to me that they have not
been struck dead for what they have
said against me on the etand."
. Durrant expresses confidence in his
ultimate acquittal. The defense does
not seem to rely so much on an alibi
as it did a few days ago and their efforts
are now being devoted to an attempt
to find flaws in the prosecution. Not
one of -Durrani's seventy-five class
mates will step to the front and say the
accused attended Dr. Cheney's lecture
of April 3d.
TWO OREGON CASES.
Decision Rendered by Secretary Smith
Regarding Swamp lands.
Washington, Sept. 20. In t case
of Thomas G. Hodgklns, asaigne : of
the State of Oregon vs. John A.-Bur-
Highest of all in Leavening
ABSOLUTELY PURE
mila, involving title to swamp land in
the Oregon City district, Secretary
Smith has decided in favor of Hodg-
kins, holding that, as the land was
swamp at the time the grant passed In
1860, the title of the state was good.
In the case of the Willamette Valley
& Cascade Wagon Road Company vs.
the State of Oregon, involving quite a
large tract of land in the Burns land
district, Secretary Smith has reversed
the decision of the commissioner of
the general land office, who held that
the lands were not swamp, and that
the state had no title. The secre
tary denies that the lands, by
reason of the grant, became the prop
erty of the state of Oregon. E. B.
Hanley was the grantee of the state
and the real party in interest. The
lands are in townships 22, 23 south,
and range 31 east.
Texas or Nowhere.
Washington, Sept 28. If the pro
moters of the Corbett-Fitslmmons
fight entertain an opinion that in case
the fight is not allowed to come off in
Texas that they can fight in Indian
territory they will certainly be disap
pointed. Attorney-General Harmon
said that there will be no fighting in
Indian territory or in any other terri
tory over which the United States gov
ern ment has jurisdiction. He did not
remember whether there was any ter
ritorial law against prize fighting nor
did it much matter whether there was
or not. . If it became necessary they
could find law to fight the case and it
might be stated, on his authority,
tear the fight would not be permitted
in any territory in the .United States,

A Timely Reminder.
Each season forces upon our consld-.
eration. its own peculiar perils, to
health. The advent of fall finds many
reduced in strength and visor, ooorlv
prepared to continue the business of
life.. The stomach . and iMwels, the
p-reat hichwav of animal economy, is
especially liable to disorder in the fall. .
ine nervous system Has also suuerea
in the struggle. ; Typhoid fever and
malaria in particular find in. the fall
that combination of , earth, air and
water that mark .this' season as ' es
pecially dangerous.'Thc falling leaves,
the- decaying ': vegetables contribute
their share of contamination. - Hood's
Sarsaparilla furnishes a most valuablo
safeguard at these important points,
and should be, used in the fall before
serious sickness has laid you low. '
